Fantastic Location to Explore Santa Barbara
Lovely home exactly as described and pictured in the perfect location to explore Santa Barbara! 1 minute to oceanfront park, close to downtown for restaurants and shopping, fantastic hiking trails, and also a great place to relax after a big day. Looking forward to a return visit!

Fantastic Stay
Had a fantastic 3-day stay. The property was super clean and exactly like the photos. Our favorite part was the beautiful oceanside walking path right across the street that you can take all the way into downtown Santa Barbara. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect SB Getaway!
We loved our time at Little Palm Cottage. Had everything we needed and nothing we didn't. Great proximity to the coast and our daughter loved the playground across the street! Looking forward to coming back someday.

Beautiful Cottage
I stayed here with five of my girlfriends from college, we are now all in our mid 30s and were having a reunion trip to Santa Barbara. The house is beautiful with an amazing backyard and deck where we were able to relax and catch up. Everything was very clean, comfortable, and the television was also easy to operate when we wanted to watch a movie. The only issue with this house is that it has a single bathroom. We did not mind, as we are all very comfortable with each other, but bear that in mind, if you are booking with lots of people. The neighborhood is quiet and residential and well-kept up and safe. We strolled across to Shoreline Park and walked along the coast. We were very close to downtown, Funkzone, and Stearns Wharf. Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay
We LOVED this property— amazing location, great back deck, great indoor/outdoor living. House was well - equipped with many things, including a pack n play and some beach toys. One portable AC unit was available to us, which was nice. Location is unbeatable — this is amazing if you love to walk, run, or if you have kids staying with. Shoreline park is only a 2 min walk from the house, and Ledbetter beach is less than a mile. A mile to the grocery store, coffee, and some restaurants. We had a few questions for the property manager, which were responded to and addressed right away. This is a property we will definitely consider for our future trips to SB. I highly recommend it!! Note- for longer stays (we were there 2 weeks), the kitchen has minimal spices and condiments, and there is only one dishrag for kitchen and/ or cleaning that we could find.

Awesome bungalow in perfect location!
Second stay here at the Little Palm Cottage and couldn't be happier. The owners do everything to make your getaway perfect. Lush, tropical, private backyard and comfortable, clean, bright interior make the vacation complete. Convenient location to the beach, downtown and Lazy Acres Market. See you next year!

Beautiful, clean, pristinely manicured private back yard with lush California plantings. Walking distance to Shoreline drive, it's parks, and the ocean. Convenient to stores and everything on the Mesa. Comfortable beds. Fully equipped kitchen. Perfect!

The perfect family retreat!
We had a wonderful stay at Little Palm Cottage. Our family of four felt very comfortable...it really was a home away from home, and situated a block from the ocean! The finishes and thoughtful details from the owners of this recently renovated house really made our vacation extra special. Highly recommend Little Palm Cottage.

What a quaint little gem!
My family of 4 totally loved our stay in this very well appointed cozy cottage. Just a block off shoreline drive so cars aren't passing by day and night, yet close enough to the beach and state street to enjoy what SB has to offer. Such a nice little find in SB.

Great getaway home.
We had a wonderful time in Santa Barbara. We are a very active family of 4 and walked cycled or Skateboarded everywhere we went. The house is neat and clean will all the facilities you could need. I would recommend bring your bike or asking to borrow the cruisers, its only a short ride into the main part of Santa Barbara.

Sweet bungalow in awesome location
What more can we say? This little cottage exudes perfection! The location is ideal (in a quiet neighborhood) - right around the corner is Shoreline park / the ocean and you're close enough to walk to the harbor and into town. Awesome market (Lazy Acres) is right up the road as is one of the best restaurants (in our opinion) - Mesa Verde. The house itself is super light, clean, comfortable and the French doors off the kitchen welcome you into the tropical landscaped, very private backyard. The owners make your stay very welcome. We will definitely be back!

Perfect little beach home
Little Palm Cottage was perfect for our Santa Barbara visit. There were four of us, 3 adults, and 1 child. The living room/kitchen space is comfortable and decorated very attractively. Everything is in excellent condition. The kitchen is very well equipped with nice quality items. Though there is only one bathroom, we never felt it was a problem. We plan to rent again as soon as we can return to SB.

We Had a great time
I booked the little palm cottage for an extended stay with my wife and 4 year old son this past January/February. It was everything we expected and more. The house is extremely clean and well kept with a very nice, private outdoor space. The location is super convenient to down town and being right off shoreline drive there is a very nice park with a playground and beach only steps away. I hope to stay there again next winter.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Little Palm Cottage.
We had the most wonderful summer vacation staying at Little Palm Cottage. The home is updated, sweet, welcoming and turnkey. The backyard is beautiful with a great deck. We walked to the beach nearly every day, our kids loved playing at the nearby park, and we were close to all of the destinations we wanted to see in Santa Barbara. The owner is easy to work with and our stay was so relaxing. We will definitely plan another trip back.
